Uhara Urges Nigerians to Register as APC Members

By Modupe Gbadeyanka

Nigerians have been advised to take advantage of the registration/revalidation exercise of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to join the party.

This advice was given by a chieftain of the APC, Mr Edwin Uhara, who noted that only the ruling party has the key to unlocking Nigeria’s potentials for greatness.

The politician, who was a member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council in the 2019 presidential election, stressed that it would be a great opportunity for Nigerians to join the “progressive party as the world is now evolving around progressive ideologies.

In a statement, the young politician, who recently concluded a course at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), promised to mobilise Nigerians to join the party, saying APC has the best blueprint to make Nigeria the envy of all nations.

He called on Nigerians to continue to pray and support President Muhammadu Buhari and his team as they work hard to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty.

Mr Uhara also charged the leadership of the party to ensure that all arrangements for the registration and revalidation exercises are in line with the non-pharmaceutical measures put in place by the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 to avoid further spread of the virus, especially the B117 strain.

Last week, President Buhari flagged-off the exercise in Daura, Katsina State, but commenced across the nation this week.

The APC registration/revalidation exercise is expected to significantly reduce intra-party rigging and put the party on a solid footing ahead of 2023 general elections.

The last time the exercise was carried out was in 2014 when the party was newly formed from a coalition of Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), the All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP), the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) called the new PDP.
